The Hub is one of those smoke-filled dive bars that you just have to love. It's a place where only locals hang out and there's even a liquor store inside, so if you want to bring the fun home, they make it easy!

Pros: The Hub is known for their "Hub pour" which means uber-strong drinks for not a lot of cash. Great live music on some nights. Awesome history, awesome atmosphere, great people.

Cons: Like anywhere in Downtown Tampa, parking is a bit rough.
